The physical side is easy,\'\' Harmon said. `It\'s the mental side, the belief in what he\'s doing. He\'ll have to work on that. He\'s good on the range. He\'s good in practice. But he reverts to his old stuff in tournaments because he doesn\'t trust it.\'\' Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver

BEGAY HONORED: Notah Begay has been selected for the Charlie Bartlett Award, given by the Golf Writers Association of America to a professional golfer for unselfish contributions to improve society.
Begay is the only full-blooded Native American to win Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver
on the PGA Tour. He founded the Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation in 2005 to battle the epidemic of childhood diabetes and obesity among Native Americans. He has raised more than $3.2 million in three years through his charity golf event.
Over the last three years, the foundation has reached more than 10,000 children in 11 states through golf, soccer, health and wellness and grant programs. The largest grant was to the San Felipe Pueblo in New Mexico to build the tribe\'s first recreation center.
Begay will be honored April 4 at the GWAA\'s annual awards dinner in Augusta, Ga.
EYE ON ELS: Ernie Els has gone to a belly putter to see if he can improve on the greens. He also went to an eye doctor.
Els, who ranked No. 181 in putting last year on the PGA Tour, has consulted with Sherylle Calder, an eye specialist who also works with the Springboks, All Blacks and England rugby teams to help with hand-eye coordination, concentration and other visual performance aids.
``We\'ve been working on some good stuff to do with my eyes, and I can see a lot of Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver
for me at the moment,\'\' Els wrote on his website. ``To use a cliche, she has literally opened my eyes about putting again, and it has helped bring back good memories of what I used to do when I was one of the best putters in the world in the 1990s and early 2000s.
``If my putting properly comes around, I can start winning golf tournaments again.\'\'
Els is at No. 59 in the world and has to crack the top 50 after Bay Hill toward the end of March to secure a spot in the Masters. The first step is to stay among the top 65 for two more weeks and get into the Match Play Championship.
